On a positive note...quite pleasing to see that the 11.45pm 309 has been kept. Have actually seen quite a few people stay on on to Preston Grange, Foxhunters and Whitley Bay. Quite a few people use it for West Allotment (getting off at Cobalt) and also Shiremoor / New York Road.

Very popular for NUFC evening kick offs too!

A bit surprised given the last 308 being pushed back to 11.25pm that it wasn't changed back to a 307 (was 310) to Norham Road.

But proof that the 11.40pm 308 was missed when withdrawn although wasn't logistically feasible for Arriva to keep it.
